MediShield™ Hydrophilic Lubricious Coating
High-performance wet lubricity for catheters, guidewires, and interventional devices. When hydrated, the coating forms a polymer hydrogel layer that reduces the coefficient of friction to well below 0.1 — enabling devices to navigate complex vasculature with significantly less resistance and tissue trauma.
MediShield™ Hydrophobic Lubricious (MSLIP) Coating
PTFE-comparable dry lubricity with zero PFAS. Engineered for devices that must slide smoothly in ambient or non-aqueous environments — including tube-in-tube systems and catheter delivery sheaths. Matches PTFE in both static and dynamic coefficient of friction while eliminating all fluoropolymer chemistry.
MediShield™ Superhydrophilic Coating
Dramatically increases surface wettability for rapid and uniform water spreading. Enhances visualization, fluid management, and device performance across clinical applications. Achieves water contact angle below 20° — water spreads instantly rather than beading. Compatible with gamma, ETO and steam sterilization.
MediShield™ Superhydrophobic Coating
Creates an ultra-low surface-energy barrier that repels water and bodily fluids — keeping devices clean, dry, and resistant to contamination. Water contact angle above 150° with a sliding angle below 10°. Particularly valuable for wearable devices requiring moisture protection and fluid-contact components in pumps and cartridges.
MediShield™ Biocompatible Coating
Innovative hydrogel coating that limits the Foreign Body Response and extends the life of implanted devices and biosensors. Resists protein adsorption, cellular adhesion, and bacterial adhesion (tested per ISO 22196 — no detectable S. aureus or E. coli). Highly permeable to glucose — compatible with CGM sensor applications.
MediShield™ Diffusion-Limiting Membrane (DLM) Coating
Precision-tunable polymer membranes that control analyte transport to the sensing layer. Selectively restricts glucose permeation while maintaining near-maximal oxygen transport — extending the linear detection range of glucose sensors from ~10 mM to the full clinical range of 0–30 mM.
MediShield™ Tie-layer Coating
Engineered interlayer that promotes adhesion, compatibility, and durability between dissimilar materials — most commonly used to bond polymer and metal layers, such as on laser-cut hypotubes.
MediShield™ Encapsulation Coating
Conformal protective barrier that seals and insulates sensitive components, providing barrier protection, insulation, and durability for devices exposed to fluid or ambient environments.
